In March, my friend Clare and I are taking on the Bath 50 Ultra Challenge to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

This is a deeply personal journey that brings together two teams of memories and milestones.

Four years ago, Clare and I conquered the Jurassic Coast Challenge. It was a test of grit, teamwork, spirit, not to mention girl power! And it reminded us how much we can achieve when we push each other forward. Now, we’re taking on Bath 50 for a cause that’s close to our hearts.

I’ll be completing this challenge in memory of my Grandad Po. He was a constant source of love, wisdom, and quiet strength. I carry his memory with me every step of the way, hoping to honour him by helping to fund life-saving research and support for families going through the struggles we faced.

Why Cancer Research UK? Because every mile we walk, every hill we climb, and every drop of sweat is dedicated to a future where fewer families are touched by cancer. Your support will help fund pioneering research, improve treatments, and provide essential support for patients and their families.

If you can spare a donation, no amount is too small. Your generosity will fuel our training days, bolster research breakthroughs, and bring us closer to a world without cancer. Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us make a real difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story,
